ICal alarms wont work at all

So I have leopard on a Mac Pro. I cant get iCal to give me anysort of alarm, at all.
I have tried all the different alarms (email, message, message with sound, open file, etc), and nothing. I have also tried all combos on multiple calendars, iCal open or closed, nothing.
I have even erased all iCal preference files.
Any idea what to do next? I am late to meetings because I dont get my 15 minute warnings. I have resorted to adding the event to my iCal, and using my cell phone calendar to have an alarm. Which causes confusion when making changes to one or the other.
thanks!

I'm sure you've looked at this:
iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Unchecked the two "turn of alarms" buttons?

  • ICal Alarms not working in iPod

    Around six months ago iCal alarms stopped working on my iPod.
    They do not even show up when I view a To Do or Event on my iPod. This happened all of a sudden and I have never changed any settings other than installing standard updates. I cannot recall if it was around the same time as an update. I use iCal 2.0.5 (1069). I was using a 60G iPod when this occurred. My new 80G has the same problem.
    Any ideas? I have searched everywhere(!) to no avail.
    I am very keen to get this feature back. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance!
    (This is my first post/question on here. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place or asked a stupid question.)

    Believe me when I saw I have tried everything! I am not technically minded though I have covered all bases. I am just anxious to get this great feature back. It just seems strange that I am the only one with issues. This happened with my 60G then right through to now. I am actually on my second 80G as the first's battery failed after a month.
    Is it an issue with my Power Book? I seriously have not change any settings - EVER. Except for the standard updates.
    Thanks again for your quick reply Anyone got any ideas?!

  • The new itunes update will not install properly and now itunes wont work at all

    k, so I tried installing the new update for itunes and now it wont work at all. it says that the mobile device isnt installed. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 4 times now.

    My issue is it wont even reinstall onto my computer
    Yes I'm aware of that. The procedures are also for trying in cases where iTunes can't be reinstalled due to a "Could not start Apple Mobile Device service" message.
    If you're getting a different error message relating to the Apple Mobile Device Service (or Apple Mobile Device Support) when you try to reinstall iTunes, post back to let us know what that error message says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Everytime i go on Itunes it tells me i have to restore my ipod but everytime i do, it just tells me to do it again? When i try and use my ipod it just has a connect to itunes sign and nothing else, it wont work at all?

    I updated itunes and everything but nothings working and i just can't figure it out?
    Everytime i restore the stupid thing, it never pops up in my itunes again like its supposed to!

    Loop
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

    I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
    like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
    You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
    As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
    That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can't get iCal alarm to work

    I've tried everything that I've read ... but I can't get the alarm to work - Does anyone else have this problem OR solution?
    Thx in advance!

    Do you have it set to go off to a certain song, or the beep? It might be that if you have it set off to go to a song, that listening to tunes might override the alarm. I'll know more in about 1 minute...
    Mine works while playing music without headphones and the alarm is set to beep. Another minute or two and I'll test the alarm going off to a song while in shuffle mode.
    I did just what I said...and it worked fine. It plays the little beeping tune and then switches to a song in the playlist you've selected.
    I'm out of ideas on why it might not be working. All I can think of is to make sure that the alarm you set is listed before going back to the main menu.

  • ICal alarms not working for delegates

    I have a Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 running iCal server. I have successfully setup a couple of users and a delegate for one of the users that has write permissions. The alarms are working for the user but not for the delegate.
    I have searched the Mac OS X Server/iCal list and the iCal list with no answer to the issue.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    This issue has been solved with the following from Cyrus Daboo. Thank you Cyrus.
    I believe that by default iCal ignores alarms on delegate calendars. I think you can change that by selecting the calendar in the list and selecting Get Info from the menu and then toggling an option in the resulting dialog box.

  • Drag and drop feature on the project panel doesnt work. Cant adjust scale or any numer properties by sliding mouse. (click drag wont work at all nowhere)

    This issue just happened out of the blue. The last thing I did was create a new comp and import an Illustrator file.  Working on CC2014. Its like the mouse's left click wont be working at all... but that's not the case.  Cant even drag the comps in the composition, or move the layers around....
    Now the issue affects everything I do in After Effects, even on a new comp with just a plain solid
    Deleted cache,
    reseted workspaces,
    open/close after effects
    restarted computer
    newcomp with just a solid and nothing.
    plugged unplugged wireless mouse
    changed to wired mouse
    the issue is still there
    Curiously, after writing this post , publishing, and going back to after effects, the mouse will work, but for a couple of clicks or so then wont work again. This only happens on After Effects

    You're Right
    Its an Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4   with an i7 k2600 clocked to 4.2ghz   w 16gbRam at 1333mhz
    Dual GPU , gtx 760 and gtx 780ti
    Running Windows 7 ultimate.
    The keyboard is a Genius G110  plus a wireless mouse Genius also.
    Adobe guys tried resetting cache (different than deleting) and user preferences, creating new user, disabling both video cards . The issue was still there.
    BTW!, After I switched windows in Win7 environment ( from after effects to the browser)  the mouse drag worked again. I could move objects in comp window, scale; move sliders on time line and drag projects to folders in project window... everything fine until i pressed ANY key, say, shift key or ctrl key.
    Probably we will never have the answer for this, since i had to format the C drive  (i have work to do). Currently i'm installing CC again. So if problem persists, I'll ditch the computer through the window.

    sometimes the battery has to drain itself, have you dropped it or has it come it contact with any liquid if so then you have a problem but if not you might have to wait a day or two for the entire battery to drain it happended to me once it took that time for it to drain then it had to be recharged and reset but you should have nothing to worry about
